I think the best place to get a lot of this information is from the
papers that describe MH.  They're collected in two places:

	- The anonymous ftp area of ics.uci.edu has a subdirectory
	  named 'mh/papers-ps' with PostScript versions of
	  useful papers and tutorials.  The file mh/papers-tty.tar.Z
	  has tty versions (readable on your screen) with the same
	  sort of information.

	- The MH distribution itself has a subdirectory named 'papers'.
	  It has the same sort of information.  It also has more
	  historical stuff like a log that shows the changes between
	  each release of MH.
